Day 04 Kabul – ­Panjshir Valley:

Day 04 Kabul – ­Panjshir Valley:  Stronghold of legendary Commander Ahmed Shah Massoud, Panishir has a rugged beauty famous throughout the country. Conveniently accessed from Pakistan by journalists covering the Russian and Taliban wars when it’s geographical situation, and the brilliance of its mujahedeen commander, made it unconquerable. Massoud defeated the Soviets here seven times, so comprehensively that they stopped trying to capture it.  Most of the television footage of the war shown in the West was shot here.  The river has a narrow and extremely fertile flood plain and is famous for its fruit. However, the sides are steep mountains, which is why it is so defensible.  In the spring, watered by the melting snow these mountainsides are dark green giving an impression of overwhelming fertility, and return to Kabul in the late afternoon,
